ADHD: What Parents Need to Know
What is Attention Deficit (Hyperactivity) Disorder or ADHD?
Attention-deficit Hyperactivity Disorder is "a condition of the brain that makes it hard for children to control their behavior". (1) All kids have problems with their behavior from time to time, but kids with ADHD have behavior problems that interfere with regular life and are continual. ADHD used to be called Attention-Deficit Disorder or ADD. ADHD usually lasts your whole life. A lot of adults have ADHD.
Kids with Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD or AD/HD) can have different kinds of symptoms:
- Inattention: These kids have trouble with paying attention, are disorganized or daydream too much.
- Hyperactivity: These kids are always moving, can't sit down or talk too much.
- Impulsivity: These kids act and talk without thinking, interrupt a lot or show poor judgment.
- Combination: The above symptoms can occur in different combinations.
For more on ADHD and Your School-Aged Child, read what the American Academy of Pediatrics has to say in this one-page parent hand-out.
Is ADHD a learning disability?
ADHD and learning disabilities are two different kinds of challenges. But they do often come together. Find out more about learning disabilities and some of the other problems that sometimes come along with ADHD. Your may hear these called by the medical term co-morbidities.
What is attention?
Check out this site that explains the basics of attention, and difficulties with attention.
How common is ADHD?
Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder is the most common behavior disorder in school-aged kids. About 8-12% of kids have it (2).
What causes it?
The exact causes of ADHD are not yet known. Experts think that ADHD is caused by differences in the way messages are sent in the brain. ADHD seems to run in families, so it may be inherited.
How is ADHD diagnosed?
ADHD is usually only diagnosed in school-aged kids (ages 6-12), because it is hard to diagnose in younger children. The diagnostic process has many steps, and you, your child's school and other caregivers will all need to provide information about your child's behavior. To find out about diagnosis, read the American Academy of Pediatrics clinical practice guideline:
How is ADHD treated?
The best treatment for ADHD is usually medication, combined with behavior therapy (including training parents in behavior therapy) and setting things up for your child at home and at school to make it easier to pay attention (3,4). Because ADHD is a chronic (on-going) condition, treatment must also be on going. Usually you will have a long-term plan that includes goals for your child. When all the parts of the treatment plan are in place, and everyone (child, parents, teachers, doctors, caregivers, etc.) works together, treatment will be most effective.
To find out more about what to expect in the treatment process, read the American Academy of Pediatrics clinical practice guideline:
What if I think my child might have ADHD?
If you think your child may have ADHD, you should have them checked by their primary care provider or a psychiatrist. Sometimes a sight or hearing problem, family stress, worry, a learning disability or communication problems can affect a child's attention and behavior. You should also get help from your school system.
- ¿Padece mi hijo (a) de Déficit de Atención con Hiperactividad (ADHD)?
- Listen to the YourChild podcast interview with UM's Dr. Layla Mohammed about what to do if you suspect your child has ADHD.
What can the school system do for my child?
If your child is struggling in school, ask your school system in writing for an evaluation of your child. They are required to provide it, at no cost to you. The purpose of an evaluation is to find out why your child is not doing well in school. A team of professionals will work with you to evaluate your child. If they do not find a problem, you can ask the school system to pay for an Independent Educational Evaluation (IEE). There are strict rules about this, so you may not get it. You can also have your child tested again privately, and pay for it yourself. But check with your school district first to make sure they will accept the private test results. By law, the school system must consider the results of the second evaluation when deciding if your child can get special services.
- Basics for Parents: Your Child's Evaluation explains what parents need to know about the evaluation process.
If testing shows your child has ADHD, the school system may start your child in a special education program.
What is special education?
Special education means "educational programming designed specifically for the individual." It can really help your child do betterin school. If your school-aged child qualifies for special education, they will have an Individualized Education Plan (IEP) designed just for them.
- Here is a helpful overview of the special education process.
- Find out all about the process on this comprehensive page from the US Office of Special Education Programs.
- Find out how to help create a useful IEP for your child.
- Help your child take part in making their own IEP. This set of guides from NICHCY includes online written information and transcipts of audio tapes (tapes not currently available) to help both you and your older child.
- Empower yourself to be a great advocate for your child at IEP meetings. Use this Pop-Up IEP from Hands and Voices, (a support group for families of children who are deaf or hard of hearing) to find out some of the common hurdles that may come up during the meeting and how to deal with them. Some of the pop-ups apply more to kids with deafness/hard-of-hearing, but most will be helpful.
What do I need to know about the laws that have to do with special education? What are our rights?
- Know your rights, as a parent, in the special education process.
- Questions and Answers about IDEA (the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act). This is also available in PDF, and Spanish.
- Internet Legal Resources about Special Education and Disabilities –from the University of Virginia
- Educational rights for children with ADHD
- Derechos educativos para niñoscon Déficit de Atención con Hiperactividad (ADHD)
What do we need to know as my child prepares for college?
- Selecting A College for Students with Learning Disabilities or Attention- Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)
- The HEATH Resource Center is the national clearinghouse on postsecondary education for individuals with disabilities.
- Listen to the YourChild podcast interview with UM's Dr. Layla Mohammed about teens with ADHD and transition planning.
- Another interview in the ADHD series with Dr. Mohammed is just for teens.
What about medication?
There is lots of news lately about medications and kids. Some people think medication is prescribed too much. Others see it working and think it is a great idea. Whatever your feelings, be sure you know the basic facts about ADHD medications. Stimulant medicines like Ritalin, Dexedrine and Adderall have been used for a long time and have a good track record. A newer medication that is not a stimulant, called Strattera, may help some kids who haven't done well on the stimulants. However, Strattera may have some risks.
- The National Institute of Mental Health has great general information for parents on what you need to know when your child is taking a medication.
- Recent studies indicate that stimulant medications do not contribute to risk for later substance use, dependence or abuse. In fact, treatment with stimulants may reduce those risks.(5)
- The National Institute of Mental Health and Columbia University conducted a study in 1999 of ADHD treatments. The findings of this study of multi-modal treatments (a combination of medication and behavioral treatments) indicate that (6):
- Medication alone is as effective for ADHD symptoms as multi-modal therapy
- Medication is more effective than behavioral alone
- Multi-modal treatment is better for ADHD associated with co-morbidities (coexisting conditions). Co-existing conditions include anxiety, oppositional-defiant disorder (ODD), conduct disorders, etc.
There are also other kinds of medicine that your child's doctor may try if the stimulants don't work. Sometimes, your child's doctor may need to try a few different medicines at a few different doses to find the one that works best for your child. You could think of the brain as a black box that we can't see inside. The doctor doesn't know how a medicine will affect the brain until he or she tries it. Nine out of ten kids improve on stimulant medication.
If your child's doctor prescribes a medication for your child, make sure you ask about the benefits and risks of taking the drug. If your child is just starting medication, you can use this sheet to keep track of how they're doing and share it with your child's doctor at your next office visit.
Remember: if your child takes a medication and their behavior improves, it is really your child's own strengths coming out from behind the ADHD. Give the credit for improvement to the child, not to the drug.
- Listen to the YourChild podcast interview with UM's Dr. Layla Mohammed about ADHD and medications.
- See a video about concerns with abusing stimulant medication, including medications for ADHD.
What about alternative and complementary treatments?
You may feel desperate for a "silver bullet" that will cure your child's problem. Some of the alternative treatments may sound reasonable, and may even be developed by doctors or specialists. But if they are not scientifically proven, you risk spending time, money and hope on false promises. On the other hand, you and your child's doctor might decide it's worth it to try a low-risk alternative treatment.
Some treatments that the National Institute of Mental Health and the American Academy of Pediatrics warns have not been proven to work in scientific studies are:
- Restricted diets
- Allergy treatments
- Medications for motion sickness to correct inner ear problems
- Mega-vitamin and mineral supplements
- Chiropractic adjustment, bone realignment, applied kinesiology and realigning bones in the skull
- Treatment for candida yeast infection
- Eye or vision training
- Special colored glasses
- EEG biofeedback
Some alternative treatments, such as mega-vitamins and special supplements, may actually be dangerous to your child. Use caution, and talk with your child's doctor if you are considering alternative and complementary treatments. Your child's doctor needs to know all treatments being used, as some may interact with prescribed treatments.
biofeedback could be a useful treatment for ADHD (7,8,9,10,11,12,13). Biofeedback has the added benefit of getting kids actively involved in developing their own coping strategies. This can be empowering. However, biofeedback treatment can be expensive, especially if your insurance doesn't cover it. For more on biofeedback:
- A look at biofeedback from UM's Dr. Felt.
- NASA's work on using biofeedback for extended attention span training.
What about girls with ADHD?
ADHD seems to be more easily recognized in boys than in girls. Girls with ADHD tend to draw less attention to themselves than boys do, and the "squeaky wheel gets the grease." Some experts believe that girls with ADHD may act very differently from the typical picture we have of the kid with ADHD.
It's possible that girls with primarily hyperactive-type ADHD act like tomboys. They may be active, messy and disorganized. Girls who have trouble paying attention may act more like daydreamers, and may go unnoticed at school because they are so quiet. Finally, girls with a combination of the two may be hyper-talkative, rather than hyperactive, and also be silly and excitable.
When girls with ADHD fall through the cracks and go undiagnosed, they pay a high price. They may not do well in school and their self-esteem may suffer. They may come to think of themselves as not very bright, quitters or low achievers. If you suspect your daughter may have ADHD, you should find a professional who has experience in diagnosing ADHD in girls, and have your daughter evaluated.
Find out what some of the recent research on girls with ADHD has to say:
- Girls are overlooked and under-diagnosed.
- ADHD diagnosis and treatment rising among girls.
- Older girls with ADHD may have more depression, anxiety, and smarts.
What are some tips for parents of kids with ADHD?
- Try to focus on your child's good qualities. "Catch" your child behaving well at least three times a day and tell them you noticed. Work up to more than three times a day.
- When you catch your child , simply describe to them the behavior you saw that you'd like to see more of. For example, "You really stayed with me at the mall today."
- Tell your kid what you want them to do, instead of what you don't want them to do. (Say "Walk." instead of "Don't run.")
- Your child with ADHD will need lots of feedback from you. Provide immediate, constructive feedback often throughout the day. Again, keep it brief, specific and descriptive.
- Kids with ADHD sometimes have trouble eating well because of their medications and trouble sitting still. Make sure your child gets regular meals and snacks of healthy food.
- Vigorous exercise is also very helpful for your child, but make sure they stay safe. Kids with ADHD may need to be watched more closely than other kids their age because they can be active and impulsive. There are certain things you should do to keep them safe, like make sure they wear a helmet when biking or roller-blading.
- Kids with ADHD often have trouble sleeping. Learn what to do when your child has problems with sleep (This hand-out is also in Spanish.)
- Help your child develop good social and communication skills, which will help them form fulfilling friendships with other kids.
- Make sure your child's other caregivers are also familiar with daily routines and behavioral goals. This will ensure that your child gets consistency throughout the day.

- Listen to the YourChild podcast interview in which UM's Dr. Layla Mohammed shares her tips for parents of kids with ADHD.
How can I help my child improve their behavior?
- Don't try to change lots of behaviors at once. Target one to three behaviors at a time to work on.
- Talk about the behavioral goals with your child.
- You'll probably want to focus closely on target behaviors for tracking and feedback for an hour a day or for limited time periods on a regular routine. Doing this all day long is too grueling for both you and your child.
- Reward your child with privileges and special activities like a trip to the park or a family picnic for successfully meeting behavioral goals.
- Keep a few rules and enforce them consistently. (Choose your "battles" carefully.)
- Offer choices, but keep them simple.
How should I set up the house and our routine to help my child?
- Keep a regular routine and provide lots of structure, so your child knows what to expect.
- Post lists and reminders for the routines in key places around the house. For example, you might keep a list of things to bring to school by the front door or in your child's backpack.
- Keep your home organized. Store things as close as possible to where they are used, and have "a place for everything, and everything in its place."
How do I get my child's attention?
- No more yelling a laundry list of instructions from the other room while you're doing something else. You already know that doesn't work anyway.
- To get your child's attention, get down on the floor in front of them, and put your hands on their shoulders. When they make eye contact with you, say, "There you are." and then tell them what you need to say.
- When you give directions, give them one at a time. Break down big jobs into several smaller jobs.
- Repeat your directions, and make lots of good eye contact. Expect to have to repeat yourself over and over.
- Try writing a checklist for multiple tasks and break big jobs down into do-able chunks.
What are some tips for parents of younger kids with ADHD?
- For young children, routines are especially important.
- Post picture lists of routines in key places around the house. For example, the steps to get ready for bed on your child's bedroom wall or over the bathroom sink.
- Strike a balance between high energy and quieter activities throughout the day. Follow some restful, quiet reading and snuggle time with a trip to the park to get the wiggles out, and vice versa.
- Choose your battles—focus on one behavior you want to change at a time.
- Frequently, throughout the day, offer choices between two alternatives that are both acceptable to you. For example, "Do you want to wear your red jacket or your yellow sweatshirt?"
- Plan ahead to be sure your child is not overtired or hungry during shopping trips or other potentially "risky" outings.
- Before going out, review the "behavior guidelines." For example, keep your hands to yourself and use inside voices.
- You might want to take "practice trips." Go out somewhere you don't mind leaving so you can leave if your child does not follow the behavior guidelines.
How can we cope with the challenges of raising a child with ADHD?
- Teachers will change each year, but parents are always there. That's why you are your child's best and most important teacher.
- Plan for one-on-one time with your child each day. Even just 10-15 minutes every day will go a long way in letting your child know they are special to you. Follow your child's lead during this special time. This will help both of you feel connected and loving toward each other.
- Stay calm and in control of yourself. You can't force your child to behave the way you want them to, but you are in complete control of your own behavior.
- Act the way you want your child to act. Be a good role model.
- Get support. There are a lot of other parents out there going through the same thing as you, and you can help each other with ideas and just by listening. (See the last section, which lists contact information for CHADD, a support group with local chapters.)
- In the Ann Arbor area, a CHADD support group meets one evening a month to talk about concerns and learn more about ADHD in children, adolescents and adults.
- For more ideas, check out these survival tips for parents.
How can I help my child do better in school?
Keep in close touch with your child's teacher and work together to make things as consistent as possible between school and home. Get involved and help the teacher as much as possible.
Sometimes your child's teachers will be very knowledgeable and helpful, and sometimes they will not. Either way, it helps a lot if you learn as much as you can about ADHD, and share with your child's teacher what works best for your child. You may want to share the tips for teachers in the next section (below) with your child's teacher. For more on working with your child's school:
- Trabajando con la escuela de sus hijos (Working with your child's school)
- Working with your child's school
- Consejos para padres sobre la tarea escolar (Homework tips for parents)
- Homework tips for parents
What can teachers do to help kids with ADHD?
A teacher who understands ADHD and how to work with kids with ADHD will make a big difference in your child's school experience. Teachers need to understand how to use a program of academic instruction, behavioral interventions and classroom accomodations to help kids with ADHD (14). You may need to help your child's teacher learn more about how to work best with your child at school. Some basic tips for modifying the classroom include:
- Seating the child near the teacher
- Repeating instructions
- Not putting time limits on test and quizzes
- Helping the child organize
- Boosting the child's self-esteem
- Having consistent consequences for unacceptable behavior.
Teachers may appreciate knowing that many resources exist that can help them learn new strategies to teach kids with ADHD. Here are a few:
- The U.S. Department of Education has issued a helpful report for teachers: Teaching Children with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder: Instructional Strategies and Practices.
- Attention Deficits: What Teachers Should Know is another ERIC digest, and offers over 100 suggestions on teaching children with ADHD.
- Checklists for teachers has still more suggestions for getting, focusing and maintaining students' attention.

TAMPA -- Special operations forces such as the Navy's SEALs and the Army's Green Berets are often the only Americans around for hundreds of miles, operating in small teams of between five and a dozen people.
Their team leaders do more than oversee action against enemies. These senior enlisted personnel -- sergeant majors, senior master sergeants, senior and master chief petty officers -- also negotiate with village elders, meet provincial governors and even dine with ambassadors. They have come to be known as the military's "warrior-diplomats."
To help them build the unique skills this dual role requires, U.S. Special Operations Command at MacDill Air Force Base has created a military academy offering coursework similar to what officers receive.
This month at MacDill, nearly 40 of the command's senior enlisted leaders received their diplomas from the Joint Special Operations Forces Senior Enlisted Academy.
After six months of distance learning, often while deployed, they spent two months in Tampa, away from the battlefield, studying subjects as diverse as the book "Art of War" by Sun Tzu, the elements of grammar and what fork to use for which course at a fancy dinner.
The goal is to ensure these enlisted leaders "are better equipped to think critically and lead successfully," said Brian Maher, president of the Joint Special Operations University, which runs the academy.
"Special operations guys often find themselves in very unique environments," said Doug Brown, a retired Army general who oversaw the creation of the academy when he ran Socom.
"They have to understand the strategic environment as well as the tactical. The decisions they make on their tactical missions have strategic impacts." Two former senior enlisted leaders who helped create the academy watched in pride from the audience during the recent graduation ceremony.
It was the ninth class since the November 2009 creation of the academy, the brainchild of Tom Smith, a former Socom command sergeant major -- the enlisted liaison between the troops and the four-star commander.
"This is probably the biggest contribution I have made to Special Operations Forces, and in my own personal opinion, what I am most proud of," said Smith, who served under Brown and his successor, Adm. Eric Olson. "I can't be more proud of having been part of that."
Smith saw a need for senior enlisted leaders to get training specific to the unique mission of special operations.
"I was very, very surprised at how little we understood irregular warfare and how long it took to address counterinsurgency tactics, techniques and procedures," said Smith, who retired in March after 35 years with the Army Special Forces. "Our education, especially for special operators, was lacking across the board."
Smith said his observation wasn't a knock on education programs already under way in the service branches.
"We realized that SOF forces needed to fix our own education system, because of the world we live in. It's very different than the way the rest of the services operate."
After thinking about the idea, Smith said he sat down with Brown and had "long discussions" about a new academy.
"He was 100 percent supportive and said, 'Go for it and put a plan together.' "
But to take his idea from conception to reality, Smith needed buy-in not just from Socom's commander but from fellow senior enlisted leaders as well as others.
Among those he turned to was Kent Dolasky, a Green Beret master sergeant who had developed an online course for noncommissioned officers at Fort Bragg, N.C.
Like Smith, Dolasky also attended last week's graduation, sitting behind Adm. William McRaven, Socom's commander. Dolasky, who retired from the Army this month, became the first academy commandant, serving in that position from 2010 until October.
Dolasky helped design a program "that would give them more of the strategy piece."
"We took it from the national security strategy all the way down to why a guy is filling sandbags in Somalia," he said.
Backers of the academy had to persuade the rest of the military that a separate special operations academy was worth pulling troops off the battlefield during a busy time overseas, Smith said.
During the first class, assigned to the training by their superiors, there was skepticism among some attendees.
"One student said, 'I am a graduate of the sergeant major academy,' " Dolasky said. "I worked operations for the 5th Special Forces Group. I don't know what kind of moonman talk you are talking here, but we don't use that stuff around 5th Group."
Dolasky said the sergeant major was educated on the need for the academy.
"He wound up being our first distinguished honor graduate," Dolasky said. "But he was a heavy resister at first."
The academy is highly competitive and considered a plum assignment because of the opportunities for advancement afterward. The curriculum for the recent academy class included sessions on strategy, organizational management, joint communications and joint leadership. Among topics studied were "Intro to Sun Tzu," "Intro to Clausewitz" and "Grammar and Mechanics."
There was even something called "Dining Like a Diplomat."
"The past few classes have gone to the Columbia Restaurant," Dolasky said, "so the guys can know which fork to use, when to toast, what to do with your napkin. Your hands. The last class went to a SOF tribute dinner with three stars. You need to know how to conduct yourself at that level and not embarrass the force."
The instructors teach at a graduate level, Dolasky said. Each class includes a national security study and assessment that attendees have to hand in the week before graduation. The studies are written at a master's level, he said.
The academy has the backing of Socom leadership.
"Education is an absolute priority, especially to our noncommissioned officer corps," said Socom Command Sgt. Maj. Chris Faris. The academy "is a tough, critical thinking course."
Faris pledged the command will "increase the capability of our operators out there on the battlefield because they know something more about the world than just training."

You can create a Grid alias. Basically set the grid the way you want it. Then right-click on the Grid icon (it's at the very top, right under the Open one), select New and give it a name. Now regardless of what you're doing, regardless of what the current grid is, you can right-click on the grid icon and select the one you created. Voila.

Northern Outcross
Posted 30 July 2006 - 05:45 PM
SO! ~ Are these ears big enough for you <g> This picture is of the pup (F-3 generation, northern out-cross) Nakia X Red Rider, Im keeping for breeding. This is more than proof, along with the other litters, that the northern line that I choose was the right old northern lines of old Chatchi Indian Dogs. Even though I researched these old lines thoroughly before using them & so had the original breeders trying to save them with DNA research. This to me is the perfect end result I was hoping for. Those of you that were concerned they would end up with smaller ears & bigger boned can now rest assured.
As in the past when Ive introduced new lines, its that out-cross of old primitive types that when combined with the other existing primitive types already in the breeding program, brings out that (breeding backwards) that Ive tried to explain. Taking two old lines (or in our case 5 old lines) no matter what old bloodline you cross it with it brings out the past of each individual line by doubling up on both together. This is called out-cross vigor & its what is so desperately needed in all the AKC type modern breeds. But unfortunately they wont allow out-crosses, but insist on inbreeding to keep the breed all ccs of one dog or there idea of pure loosing all those variables you need to maintain any healthy breed for the future. What out-cross vigor can also do is increase the size of both parents for the first generation, but the generations after that come back to the original smaller size that the standard asks for & of the original parents.
The personality is also important for the balance we look for in our A.I.Dog breed, since the last Northern's we found had a slight hip problem we chose to fade out those bloodlines & bring in these new unrelated bloodlines.
So I hope in the future owners will leave the breeding genetics to me & trust me to do that. I would never bring in anything that would hurt our breed or disappoint owners in training or any physical ability for that; form = function that should be the goal of any responsible breeder, breed club or registry. The owners responsibility is learning how to properly train your A.I.Dogs & stay smarter than they are; calm & assertive, respectful educated teachers.
Im so proud of the over 500 owners that have educated themselves (with a little help from other owners) on how to bring their A.I.Dogs to their full happy potential. I truly hope those 4 anti A.I.Dog owners will some day understand, they need to take responsibility for there lack of training skills & not blame the dog or breed for their problems. They need to take the time to read & comprehend the owners opinions that over 500 owners have learned from their A.I.Dogs. It can be very detrimental to the happiness & health of a dog to not train them properly.

That pup is extremely beautiful, as well as sentient and intelligent looking--very impressive, and I am very proud to be part of the effort. Keep up the good work, Kim. These dogs are the best!

KK & Allison ~ You are very welcome, as you know my thing is education, education & more education anywhere & everywhere. It's so important that everyone understand the background of where this dogs came from & that they are not wolf hybrids or some kind of wild dog cross. As you, KK learned from the article you so kindly put in your local paper about the A.I.Dogs. .... Thank you for helping to put out that positive information in your area about the dogs. People need to understand the past problems, to the point of almost extinction to European explorers thinking they were just a bunch of coyotes or wild dogs following the natives around. So this might never happen again.
Thanks Kim for sharing this in both groups-the Google group and this Forum. Everybody needs to see the fabulous new pups in both groups!
The American Indians where very adept at understanding nature, breeding & genetics to keep their dogs healthy & instinctually smart. With the help of all owners & breeders we can keep them that way into the future.
I'm very proud of all the great owners that help to educate the public about these dogs & other owners to train their dogs properly for all the happy dogs out there.
Remember ... education, education, education .... Kim

Some of you won't notice, but Kim asked me to post this in our new PUBLIC FORUM. Not only is he teaching us, but this thread is available to the whole world--anyone who is interested, may learn about our beautiful dogs.
That pup is extremely beautiful, as well as sentient and intelligent looking--very impressive, and I am very proud to be part of the effort. Keep up the good work, Kim. These dogs are the best!
A very big THANKS to you, Kim, for everything you do, have done and continue to do with this breed and these animals. Your knowledge and continued need for education for both yourself and us, as owners, is appreciated. Unfortunately, there are those that continue to turn a deaf ear to what you teach us and blame their poor animals for the bullheadedness (if there is such a word) of themselves. Even if they would open their ears and acknowledge their mistakes in training their dogs they will never ever have the guts to admit it ... their loss and the poor dog gets blamed for it.
Again, thanks, for the pups, and for letting us be part of the ongoing project you so lovingly continue!!

If you look on Kim's web page, under Origins of the Indian Dog, you will see the lines that make up the American Indian Dog. Kim has worked hard to recreate, as closely as possible, the natural diversity of this breed, and the diversity of it's gene pool, which you will know, as a student, is important in maintaining it's superior health, and intelligence.
Be sure to read through his page, as he talks at length, about his breeding program. Here are some words, to you, from Kim:
These outcrosses are just like all the combinations of bloodlines that all the AIDogs have. There is no deference other than from the newest bloodlines brought into the breeding program for awhile . Since Tonka the Common AIDog type that we found in South America from the Mayans.
Its the balance of all the types together that makes the Plains dogs or AIDogs what they are. Its like adding a little salt to the stew, that was missing before. This pup was just the result of a new northern line that was recently brought into the breeding program. They all have about a 4th to a 5th % of the northern bloodlines that are called Village Indian Dogs in them. But the last northern lines where pretty much removed because of some potential health issues.
This is all (hopefully) better explained in the origins of the AIDogs with the map that shows where all the types originated from.

(WARNING: Video contains some choice language)
It's taken the best part of two years, but Blackburn have finally gotten round to formally apologising to former Rovers boss Sam Allardyce on behalf of fellow former manager Steve Kean, who was caught on tape in a Hong Kong bar a year ago, lightly boozed and gabbing with a group of fans – telling them that the club had sacked Allardyce for being 'a crook'.
Blackburn's apology reads:
"During the summer of 2011, Mr Steve Kean was this Club's manager and accompanied the players of Blackburn Rovers on a pre-season tour of the Far East.
"Whilst in Hong Kong, Mr Kean was in a bar and falsely alleged that Sam Allardyce, our previous manager, was sacked by us because he was a crook.
"This is completely false and we apologise to Mr Allardyce for the embarrassment and distress caused to him by Mr Kean."
The apology has been a long time coming, though we're guessing that Allardyce taking to Kean to court over his remarks may just be something to do with the delay.
The legal action was reportedly settled yesterday, with Allardyce accepting 'substantial' damages from both parties – you know he'll only go straight out and blow it all on
agents' fees sweets.

In my opinion, this is a very common symptom, so I post this post for you guys to read and to be aware of things.
What is Internal Bleeding?
Internal bleeding is considered as one of the most serious problems that can even cause death if it is not stopped early. It is the bleeding out of the blood vessel. Unlike conventional bleeding which is out from the wound in the surface of the body and can be recognized easily, internal bleeding is bleeding happening inside the body (in the tissue, organ or chamber), which is very difficult to identify without examination methods and certain diagnosis.
Internal bleeding is dangerous because the constant blood loss, uncontrolled with large amounts can cause the patients some symptoms like dizziness, syncope, hypotension, circulatory shock and cardiovascular collapse. If it is not treated in time then the patient will die. The special circumstances such as cerebral hemorrhage, rupture of ectopic pregnancy are urgent emergencies. Therefore, internal bleeding is always a matter of concern in situations of injury, accident or illness that can easily lead to the phenomenon.
Here are the top 10 most recommended tips for how to stop internal bleeding that you might consider applying in order to cease the bleeding internally and protect your blood vessels.
1. Wild Geranium
Wild geranium is a kind of herb that is used very common in stopping internal bleeding.
The use of wild geranium comes from its roots which can help on how to stop internal bleeding and treat diarrhea, hemorrhoids, gum diseases and gastrointestinal problems. The roots contain a lot of tannins and are rich of astringent and styptic.
However, do not apply the method with wild geranium roots if you are constipate or pregnant as it can bring some unexpected effects.
2. Birthroot
Birthroot contains a lot of tannins and saponins components that has anti-inflammatory and anti-hemorrhagic properties. That is the reason why it can be used for treating hemorrhage, excessive menstrual bleeding and bowel problems.
Scientists have said that birthroot is a beneficial ingredient for how to stop internal bleeding from fibroids, menopausal bleeding and uterine prolapse. However, notice that it should be avoided during pregnancy period.
3. Yarrow
Yarrow is used for a long time ago as an ancient herb for staunching wounds. Nowadays, scientists have proved that the herb can be used for treating uterine hemorrhage and profuse menstruation.
The benefits of yarrow are thanks to its components of volatile oil, sesquiterpene lactones, tannins and flavonoids that have astringent and anti-inflammatory properties. These properties can help in the situation of internal bleeding from the lungs, bladder, bowels and internal injuries.
However, notice not to apply the method with yarrow if you have allergies to plants in the Aster family.
4. Shepherd's Purse
Shepherd's Purse is also called capsella bursapastoris. This herb has been used as a remedy for how to stop internal bleeding as well as external bleeding for a long time ago. This is due to the fact that Shepherd's Purse can constrict blood vessels and reduce blood flow.
In the use of the herb for stopping internal bleeding, Shepherd's Purse can act to stop hemorrhaging in the stomach, urinary tract bleeding as well as bleeding from the gastrointestinal tract such as bleeding ulcers. It is considered as the best remedy for stopping all kinds of hemorrhages including hemorrhages in the stomach, the lungs, the uterus and bleeding from the kidneys.
5. Aloe Vera Juice
Aloe Vera juice can help on how to stop internal bleeding as it can speed up the healing process of intestinal bleeding. Also, this natural home remedy can soothe intestinal inflammation; heal open wounds as well as increases tissue suppleness thanks to its antiviral properties.
Nice to share with you guys

Prism Tencel Tape Yarn - Parrot $16.00
Another new favorite, Prism Tencel Tape is the first 100% Tencel knitting yarn I have found. I love it for all the same reasons I buy so many clothes of woven Tencel--the colors are saturated and exquisite, the hand is silky smooth and soft, there is superior drape and Tencel is highly eco-friendly. Made from sustainable trees, Tencel has far more moisture absorbing capability than cotton, takes dye beautifully resulting in much less dye usage, and is hypo-allergenic and breathable. The knitted construction leads to a durable yarn with lovely stitch definition. Interchangeable with Manhattan, but with a more classic look.

LOUDOUN COUNTY, Va. – New U.S. Census data suggest some areas in the D.C. region are doing better than others.
In Loudoun County, median income is the highest at about $120,000 a year — an 8 percent increase from four years ago. The District also increased 8 percent to $61,000.
Demographers tell The Examiner that the increases can be attributed to a growing population of young professionals.
Prince William County also saw a big jump, while Montgomery and Fairfax counties, along with Alexandria, saw big drops in household income.
Experts attribute the declines to growth in lower-paying service jobs.

First two cases of coronavirus in Carmarthenshire confirmed
THE FIRST two cases of coronavirus have been found in Carmarthenshire, the Welsh Government announced today.
The two patients in the Carmarthenshire local authority area had recently returned together from northern Italy.
It comes as the Hywel Dda Health Board which serves the area opened two centres to test for coronavirus, one in Cardigan and one in Carmarthen.
The health board announced it had opened the testing centres to "help protect the health of our communities", while also saying that centres could be opened in other areas across the health board.
The Chief Medical Officer for Wales, Dr Frank Atherton, confirmed that a total of nine patients in Wales had tested positive for coronavirus (COVID -19) today, bringing the total to 15.

Health board provides assurance to local residents following Llanelli lockdown restrictions
|Following the introduction of temporary lockdown measures in the Llanelli area the health board is moving to reassure local communities that they can still access hospital and community healthcare services, including urgent care.
The health board is continuing to focus on providing these essential services and patients should access Prince Philip Hospital if they have an urgent care need or a scheduled clinic appointment.
Planned operations continue to be prioritised based on clinical urgency (including patients with cancer and other urgent care needs) and people should attend these if they have a confirmed admission date.
These measures apply to people with appointments at Prince Philip Hospital (regardless of where you live), and for people living in the Llanelli restricted zone. Arrangements are also continuing with access to primary care services – please phone your doctor's surgery, dentist or optometrist to find out more and follow instructions at your community pharmacist.
All GP practices and a number of community pharmacies are continuing to offer the flu jab by appointment – again please check arrangements with these providers locally and make sure you keep your appointment if you've been offered one. If you do not have an appointment arranged and you are in one of the "at risk" categories, please contact your GP Practice to check on the arrangements for this year.
Visiting continues to be restricted at all Hywel Dda University Health Board hospitals and these must be pre-planned and agreed with the sister/charge nurse.
The exceptions to this arrangement are:
One parent/guardian at a time to visit their child
For birthing mothers – only one birthing partner
Patients considered to be at the end of life or receiving palliative care.
We have also introduced local exemptions to this where you can visit if you are supporting someone with a mental health issue such as dementia, a learning disability or autism, where not being present would cause the patient to become distressed.
In all cases we are urging patients to continue to follow infection prevention and control guidance, as well as use of face coverings and maintaining social distance. Further information and updates about local lockdowns can be found on the Welsh Government's website here.
Mandy Rayani, Director of Nursing, Quality and Patient Experience at Hywel Dda, said: "It's really important that people living in areas affected by the new lockdowns know that they can still access services in the same way as they have been able to for the last few months.
"At the same time, it's also important that people choose the right healthcare service for their need so that our hospitals can manage the extra demand that we always face at this time of the year.
"We will continue to prioritise urgent and emergency care, including planned operations based on clinical urgency, and I'd also like to remind people that arrangements are in place at a local level for community services such as GPs, pharmacies, optometrists and dentists.
"If you do need to attend a healthcare setting please remember to follow guidance on hand hygiene, face coverings and social distancing and please contact the senior sister or charge nurse if you want to find out about visiting relatives in hospital.
"Remember, COVID-19 is a serious disease which is sadly having real and tragic consequences for many people and families. We will endeavour to do all that we can to keep our communities safe and we'd like to thank the public for their patience and understanding as we continue to work through these new arrangements."
Remember – if you or any member of your household develop symptoms of COVID-19 it is important that you self-isolate and do NOT attend any appointments or visit our sites.
If you have symptoms (raised temperature, new persistent cough OR loss or change of smell or taste) please book a test as soon as possible. You can do this via the UK Portal here
Any Llanelli residents having problems booking a test can contact us on 0300 333 2222 or via email@example.com
Police appeal for witnesses after 20-year-old pedestrian tragically killed on A40
DYFED-POWYS POLICE is appealing for witnesses to a fatal road traffic collision on the A40 west of Carmarthen on Saturday (Sept 26) in which a 20-year-old man, a pedestrian, lost his life.
The police have asked The Pembrokeshire Herald to publicise this appeal.
A spokesman for the police told this newspaper: "At around 9.40pm, a white VW Transporter was in collision with a pedestrian on the A40 westbound, near the junction of Llangynog, Carmarthen.
"The pedestrian, a 20-year-old male, died as a result of his injuries.
"It appears the pedestrian had left his vehicle, a black Seat, following a single-vehicle collision further along the westbound carriageway shortly before.
The police have asked that if anyone has any information on either or both collisions, or may have been travelling along the A40 at the relevant time, please contact the serious collision investigation unit, quoting reference DPP-20200926-339.
This can be done by email: email@example.com, by phone on 101 or by text: If you are deaf, hard of hearing, or speech impaired text the non-emergency number on 07811 311 908.
Llanelli becomes a Covid-19 'health protection zone'
RESIDENTS in a large part of Llanelli are being put under new local restrictions in a 'health protection zone' following a rapid increase in Covid-19 cases in the area.
The town is seeing a concentrated spread of cases compared with other parts of Carmarthenshire – in the last seven days, 85 positive cases have been identified in Llanelli (151.6 per 100,000 of the population) compared to 24 cases in the rest of Carmarthenshire (18.1 per 100,000 of the population).*
Public Health Wales officials are expecting numbers to continue rising over the coming week.
Carmarthenshire County Council and Hywel Dda University Health Board have worked with the Welsh Government and Public Health Wales to agree the temporary restrictions at sub-county level to try and halt the spread of the virus.
As of 6pm on Saturday September 26, 2020, residents living in defined parts of Llanelli will not be able to visit anyone else's home, or accept visitors into their home, unless they have a 'reasonable excuse' such as providing care for a vulnerable person.
They should not arrange to meet indoors with anyone who they don't live with, and travel in and out of the 'health protection zone' will also be limited – people should not leave the area or travel into the area unless it is essential. Travelling in and out of the zone for a holiday is not considered a reasonable excuse.
People are being asked to wear face coverings anywhere where they cannot maintain a two-metre distance from other people, including collecting children from school, in addition to the rules which already require them to wear a face covering in indoor spaces like shops and on public transport.
All indoor and outdoor visits to residential care homes have also been suspended.
Students may still travel into and out of the 'health protection zone' to go to school or college.
People living in the defined area of Llanelli must work from home, and employers must take all reasonable steps to support staff to do so.
Indoor public spaces such as leisure centres should only be used by people living in the defined area.
Shops will remain open, but people living outside the defined area of Llanelli should avoid travelling to visit them and shop in their own locality wherever possible.
The specific wards covered in the defined area of Llanelli are:
- Bigyn
- Bynea
- Dafen
- Elli
- Felinfoel
- Glanymor
- Hendy
- Hengoed
- Llangennech
- Lliedi
- Llwynhendy
- Tyisha
- Swiss Valley
Although the pattern of increased positive cases is overwhelmingly concentrated in the Llanelli area where the restrictions have been strengthened, the whole of Carmarthenshire has now been put on alert, with a warning that the tighter restrictions may be extended if cases continue to spread.
Everyone – including those in the defined areas of Llanelli – is being urged to follow the national guidance around social distancing, good hygiene, self-isolation, testing and face coverings.
Leader of Carmarthenshire County Council, Cllr Emlyn Dole, said: "It is worrying to see how sharply the number of positive cases has risen in the Llanelli area, and action has had to be taken to help stop the spread and break the chain of infections concentrated in this area to prevent a whole county lockdown.
"We must all do the right thing, follow the advice and protect each other. In parts of Llanelli, we're asking people and businesses to make even greater sacrifices – we fully appreciate the impact this will have, but there is no other way. We must stop the spread."
A mobile testing unit has been set up in Llanelli to manage the increased demand by local residents who have any of the Covid-19 symptoms – either a high temperature, a change or loss to taste or smell or a new continuous cough.
Reporting of positive cases in the town is fully expected to rise during the next two weeks with the increase in more targeted testing. But this is a positive indicator that cases are being identified and control measures put in place.
Chair of Hywel Dda University Health Board Maria Battle said: "Our local community has given us such tremendous support during the past few months. To protect the health of our people, including the most vulnerable, and to ensure our NHS resources are available to provide people with the care they need; we need the help of our Llanelli population and wider community now more than ever before. Whilst hospital admissions have not yet increased again for COVID cases, we have seen a sharp rise in positive cases in the community, and in time this is likely to have an impact on hospital admissions. The very best way we can support each other and those we love, is to follow local restrictions, minimise our contacts, practice good hygiene and self-isolate and book a test if we have any COVID-19 symptoms."
Increased testing capacity for residents in Llanelli is available by appointment at the following locations:
- Parc y Scarlets Car Park B, accessed via Trostre Retail Park, in Llanelli
- The Ty'r Nant site (next to KFC), Trostre, Llanelli
- The Carmarthen showground (signposted in both directions off the A40)
There should be no reason for Llanelli residents to travel excessive distances for a test, as there will be tests available in Llanelli and Carmarthen. Tests should be booked via the UK Portal. Any Llanelli residents experiencing difficulty booking a test locally via the UK portal can instead email firstname.lastname@example.com or by calling 0300 333 2222.

As we close out the Second Quarter of 2010 it is time to review progress made on the Goals I set at the beginning of the year. Just like the end of Q1, I think I continue to make good progress. Thus I will break down each of the goals that was established in that blog post back in January.
Start a Blog
This has been covered pretty well.
Implement a BI Solution
I have made no further progress on this. Despite that, I have been converting several dts packages into SSIS packages. I also have numerous reports for SSRS that I need to implement. Also, let's throw out there that I have spent considerable time working on the COGNOS 7 platform over this past quarter. I have had to troubleshoot various components from cube build to security to execution and report accuracy. That doesn't count as a BI solution, however, it should be noted that there is more BI experience being gained. The purpose of this goal was to increase experience and knowledge with BI. Albeit, the goal was designed to gain that experience in the Microsoft products.
1 Technical Blog Post per Week
This one is getting harder for me currently. I am in the middle of some very big and high profile projects that have consumed a lot of my time. I will be working harder at this goal over the upcoming quarter. Despite that difficulty, I am still ahead of the goal by means of averages though I missed a technical post this last week.
Attend 2010 Pass Summit
I have not yet attended the summit, and can't do that until November. However, I have registered for the Summit and have every intention of attending this year.
Present Once a Quarter (or 4 times)
I continued to make measurable progress. I only presented once this quarter. On the flip-side, I have taken the lead in two of the three UG meetings.
Write 2 Articles
I can mark this goal as achieved at this point. My second article was published recently and I have a few more that I am working on in queue currently. I wrote a short blog on the publication of this article.
Run Two Marathons
I have not run a marathon yet this year, but that is fine. I have laid out my schedule for running and have several planned for my typical race season coming up in the fall.
As for the less measurable goals, I think I am doing fine there as well. I was assigned as VP to our PASS Users Group, I am on a subcommittee for Summit 2010, and I am actively involved with the community at SQLServerCentral.com.

Mon, 31/12/2012
The British media have made a big deal out of the latest results of the 2011 Census. We have all read how 13% of Britain's population is made up of immigrants who were born abroad and how the media are pointing the finger of blame at the Labour Party, but is this full picture.
Firstly the media have attempted to do a 'sleight of hand trick', showing their readers the not 'so bad' story of 13% of the British population consisting of immigrants born abroad while slipping the true figures for non British, and in particular non English, living in Britain into their pocket.
What you have to remember is that the figures only represent the population of England and Wales and that the vast majority of immigration is settled into England.
As an Englishman, I immediately picked up on the 'born abroad' which was used in every media article so decided to check the Census figures myself in order to attempt to assess the true problem of immigration into England.
The Census asked two questions which were relevant; what do you consider your Nationality to be and what do you consider your Ethnicity to be.
I began my search with the Office for National Statistics releases – both nationality and Ethnicity statistics can be found here:
I first went into the attachment titles as; 2011 Census: KS201EW Ethnic group, local authorities in England and Wales but because the Census had made a single tick box for the Ethnic English, Scottish, Welsh, Northern Irish and British there was no way for me to calculate the figures for each individual group.
So I moved on to the Nationality results at: 2011 Census: KS202EW National identity, local authorities in England and Wales, then clicking on the Excel button at the right hand side of the page I brought up the statistics for peoples Nationality.
Now remember this is not the Government's or the media's anti English perception that we are all English because we live in England, it is the perception of the people who have filled in the Census questionnaire.
The statistics showed that the population of England is 53,012,426 and looking at the Excel spreadsheet the Government have helpfully placed tags which give the total numbers of those answers and most importantly for me a tab which gave the percentages of those people.
The important results are as follows:
People who consider themselves as being of English only nationality is 32,007,983 or 60.4%
English and British is 4,820,818 or 9.1% and then came the breakthrough, the story that the media had slipped into their pocket while showing us all the 13% bad news story; the people who consider they have no English identity is 15,834,059 or 29.9%.
That's nearly 30% of England's population who consider that they are not English.

Update: The Maricopa County Board of Supervisors issued an order for all of Maricopa County that includes persons over the age of two to wear face coverings in public. The County Order does apply to Phoenix and amends the age requirement of the Phoenix declaration.

Given the rise in COVID-19 cases throughout Arizona, Phoenix Mayor Kate Gallego and the City Council issued a declaration that requires people to cover their nose and mouth whenever they are away from their home or residence and unable to physically distance.

 The declaration goes into effect on Saturday, June 20, 2020 at 6 a.m. and requires every person in the city of Phoenix, ages two and over [amended by County Order], shall cover their nose and mouth whenever they are away from their home or residence and within six feet of another person who is not a member of their family or household.

 Any business whose employees cannot observe physical distancing, must require face coverings; including those that interact with the public. Businesses also have the right to refuse service to anyone not wearing a face covering. Here are some suggested signs that can be used in Phoenix businesses.

 This requirement was enacted on Friday, June 19, 2020, by the city of Phoenix Mayor and City Council by a declaration necessary to public safety and welfare, in particular to mitigate the spread of COVID-19.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

This declaration says people are to use them when away from their homes and whenever they are within six feet of another person who is not a member of their family or household.

 Who are exempt from wearing a face covering?

People in settings where it is not practical or feasible to wear a face covering, including when obtaining or rendering goods or services, such as the receipt of dental services or medical treatments.

 Do I need to wear a face covering when I am exercising?

No, persons exercising outdoors, or while walking or exercising with other persons of the same household, as long as physical distancing of 6 feet from others is maintained do not have to wear a face covering. People are not expected to wear a mask while swimming. Physical distancing should be adhered to as much as possible in pool settings.

 I work outside, do I need to wear a mask?

Restaurants should be making every effort to provide physical distancing of 6 feet in their seating areas.

Restaurant staff must be wearing masks.

 I had COVID-19 but am recovered, so do l need to wear a face covering?

Yes. The medical community is unclear at this time if having recovered from COVID-19 provides future immunity.

 How will this requirement be enforced?

We intend to lead with education and providing information to the community.

Officers will work to educate the public on this order and when possible will have masks on hand to provide to people who do not have one.

Upon complaint, available officers will share information with residents who are not in compliance with the order. This will include CDC guidelines suggesting wearing cloth face coverings in public settings where social distancing is difficult to maintain.
